It opens pretty quickly for me, but almost every time it wants to be re-linked to a mobile device.
Signal is really annoying with all the things it wants me to do. Re-linking a mobile device. Re-entering a PIN/password for no reason other than to prove that I still know the password.
And when I'm finally logged in it shows me a completely useless selection of mostly obsolete contacts.

- rconti 6y agoI feel like I'm constantly re-linking machines. I have 4 computers I use regularly, so it's a hassle. I can't say for sure if it's been a month since I last opened the app-- maybe a week or two, sure.
